Ceramic pole top pin insulator schematic.

They are mounted directly on the pole or crossarm and bolted in place. Post insulators are one piece solid or hollow core porcelain columns with multiple petticoats or skirts from top to bottom. There are several types of insulators in transmission lines but the most commonly used are pin type suspension type strain insulator and shackle insulator. In north america glass was always the predominate material for communications insulators but porcelain has become the standard for power distribution due to its greater strength and surface resistance.

There is a. As the name suggests the pin type insulator is secured to the cross arm on the pole. Galvanized per astm a 153. Similar to their glass counterparts porcelain insulators date back to before the civil war for telegraph wires.

Hendrix vise top insulators are pin type insulators that incorporate a clamping mechanism into the top of the insulator to provide quick and easy conductor installation without the need for additional tie products. They are secured on the cross arms of the pole to carry power lines. Mechanical strength of insulators insulators shall withstand all applicable loads specified in rules 250 251 and 252 except those of rule 250c and rule 250d without exceeding the following percentages of their strength rating for the respective insulator type shown in table 277 1. Pin type insulators pin type insulators or pin insulators are popularly used in electric distribution systems up to 33 kv voltage level.

Two 11 16 mounting holes are spaced 8. There is a groove on the upper end of a pin insulator for housing the conductor. The part sec tion of a pin type insulator is shown in fig. Rus listed b pin pole top steel.
